😖 KINGDOM STRUGGLES - God's Mercies, Strength, Integrity, and Renewal – Bro. Tony Garcia

02/23/25 • 54 min

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD -‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, Because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: Great is thy faithfulness.”

SUMMARY

In this conversation, Brother Tony Garcia discusses the importance of community, integrity, and God's mercy in the lives of men striving to live a Christian life. He emphasizes that while struggles are inevitable, God's mercy is always available to lift us up and restore us. The discussion includes practical steps for spiritual growth, the significance of living with integrity, and the need for daily connection with God. The overarching theme is that despite the challenges faced, men can find strength and renewal through faith and community support.

⚔️ We can extend ourselves in service or grow weary in God's kingdom, but God is faithful to help us with mercy, strength, integrity, and renewal.

If we fail in the struggle, God's mercy gives us the opportunity to get up and try again.

Integrity is God's faithfulness, and it is doing right by God no matter how we feel or who sees us.

We must work out spiritually by our devotions to God, so that we can handle more of His kingdom struggles.

Jesus Christ represents All that we need from God.

We may lose some spiritual battles, but we can still win the war of eternal life, through Jesus Christ.

So, let’s keep going forward in the power of Jesus Christ, and forget about yesterday.

To God even Jesus Christ be the glory forever, amen! 🙌

Some people may discriminate, but life doesn't! Life is RHF-pronounced rough (Relationships, Health, and Finances) without Christ Jesus. He is the answer or help that we all need! So, let's all turn from sin to God through Jesus Christ the Lord, and watch Him save, bless, reward us, in this life and in the next, as we continue to hear and obey His Word!

😊 LOVE - Now Is God Glorified In Me – Pastor Michael Zotzman

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD -‭‭ ‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.”

SUMMARY

In this conversation, Pastor Michael Zotzman explores the themes of abiding in Christ, the importance of love and forgiveness, and how these elements contribute to bearing fruit in a Christian's life. He emphasizes that true discipleship is demonstrated through love, especially in difficult circumstances, and discusses the parable of the unforgiving servant to illustrate the necessity of extending forgiveness.

⚔️ God is the “King of Glory”, but is He glorified or honored in us?

Jesus Christ is the brightness of God's glory.

God's glory represents all that He is, and part of His glory is love, for God is love. And, if we show no love, even to the hard-to-love, can we say that we are of God?

God wants the world to see His glory in us through the power of Jesus Christ. This is the “Calling Card” of a real Christian.

God's glory shines the brightest in dark, challenging, and troubled times.

God's glory is compelling and this is what He uses to draw all humanity to Himself.

So, let's be a beacon of God's glory in Jesus Christ to this dark world.

To God even Jesus Christ be the glory forever, amen! 🙌

💰 CONTENTMENT - God Should Be Our Treasure – Pastor Michael Zotzman

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD -‭‭ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

SUMMARY

This conversation focuses on the theme of contentment from a Christian perspective, emphasizing its importance in spiritual growth and personal development. The speaker discusses scriptural insights on contentment, the challenges faced in achieving it, and the role of godliness in maintaining a contented life. The discussion also highlights the significance of prioritizing God over material desires and the need for a supportive community in fostering spiritual growth.

⚔️ Treasure is what we desire in heart and are willing to sacrifice for.

Our heart is our inner person who will treasure or serve a master.

We may have some treasures in this life, but we should be content/delighted/satisfied/at peace with God being our ultimate treasure, passion, and focus.

We cannot ultimately serve God and something or someone else at the same time.

God is a treasure that can bless us, and so is Satan, but we have to choose which master we will serve.

God is a treasure that can take care of everything we need, even when we don't ask, we just have to seek and desire Him first and most of all.

Jesus Christ is an invaluable gift that God has given to us that we should treasure and be content with, because God gives us all things through Him.

So, let's be content with what a treasure God is in our lives; His Son Jesus Christ, His love, His salvation, His blessings, His righteousness, His correction, His promises, His will, His Word, His protection, His providence, His reward, and His Heaven.

TAKEAWAYS

Contentment is essential for handling life's challenges.

Contentment does not mean complacency; we should strive to grow.

The love of money can lead to spiritual pitfalls.

Understanding our needs versus wants is crucial for contentment.

Being fully persuaded in faith helps maintain contentment.
